Presiding Bishop
Katharine Jefferts Schori and Bishop Hollerith took part in a
weekend-long celebration of 375 years of worship at Old Donation,
Virginia Beach. Founded in 1637, Old Donation is the first church to
exist in Virginia Beach. On Saturday, the parish staged re-enactments of
historic moments from its past. A choir concert featured a performance
of Vivaldi's "Gloria", and held a banquet honoring Old Donation's former
rector, the Rev. Beverly Tucker. On Sunday, the Presiding Bishop
preached at all three services. Old Donation has an online photo album
of the event that you can enjoy here.
